Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for filling or removal of heating medium ball valves serve to block and open the flow of liquid or gaseous media in pipelines.
  • a blocking is u. a. then required when a pipe section must be separated from a pipeline under medium pressure to z. B. to exchange located in this section of the pipeline units.
  • ball valves arranged at one or both ends of the pipe section are closed.
  • the separated pipe section must then be depressurized and, if necessary, the medium still in it must be emptied in a controlled manner.
  • a ball valve is for example from the EP 2 169 286 A2 known.
  • a hollow spindle is provided, from the cavity of which a chamber extends into an adjusting chamber of the ball valve.
  • a sensor is arranged, which is located with a measuring part in the chamber.
  • the chamber may have an opening to the control chamber when the sensor is a pressure sensor.
  • the sensor is embedded in the hollow spindle, so that no opening of the chamber is made to the environment and the guided through the ball valve medium can not escape to the outside.
  • the post-published DE 10 2011 013 097 A1 shows a ball valve and a method for draining and filling a heating system with such a ball valve.
  • document EP0566920 relates to a security group for safeguarding drinking water heaters comprising a check valve formed as a chicks valve with a straight passage and a check valve disposed downstream therefrom, in which a test port closed by a closure member is provided which communicates with the space upstream of the check valve when the plug valve is closed stands.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the prior art or to provide him with a good alternative.
  • controlling should also include as an option the more specific execution of the rules. It should also be noted that an indeterminate expression “a”, “two”, etc. should always be understood in the sense of an "at least, but in particular” indication, ie “at least one, in particular exactly one”, etc., if not in the individual case from the context shows that there should be meant only about “exactly one”, etc.
  • the embodiment described in the device claims is preferably designed in accordance with DVGW and suitable for use in drinking water.
  • the actuator may be designed primarily as a shaft, wherein such a shaft can be well driven by a handle.
  • Most such a wave is arranged at right angles or, for example, at an angle of 45 ° to a direction of flow from inlet to outlet.
  • the adjusting element is usually a ball or a partial sphere with a spherical outer shape. It can be mounted in a spherical cavity in the ball valve, in which the inlet and the discharge open with a full cross-section.
  • the ball valve consists in a conventional manner of a housing 10, a chick 12 with a flow chamber 22, an associated with the chick 12 operating shaft 18 and an actuating handle 20 and has an inlet 14 and a drain 16.
  • the operating shaft 18 for the chick 12th a continuous axial bore 24, which leads into the flow space 22 of the chew 12.
  • a discharge opening 26 is arranged, which opens by means of a drain valve 28 or drain cock and is closable.
  • the chick 12 further has an opening 30 which is arranged in the closed state of the chute 12 in the wall between the passage space 22 and the drain 16.
  • the drain valve 28 is closed.
  • the ball valve can be transferred in a conventional manner by a 90 ° rotation of the actuating handle 20 from the open to the closed state and vice versa.
  • the chicks in the housing 10 is rotated via the operating shaft 18.
  • the openings of the flow space 22 are in alignment with the inlet 14 and outlet 16, so that medium can flow through the plug 12.
  • the openings of the flow space 22 are transverse to the inlet 14 and drain 16 and the walls of the plug block the connection between inlet 14 and outlet 16.
  • the drain valve 28 may be placed on the free end of the operating shaft 18 before the discharge opening 26.
  • another chick may be arranged in the chick 12 to form a drain cock. By the additional chicks while the additional opening in the main chick 12 is opened or closed.
  • the chick 12 serves as an actuating element, wherein in the spherical shape of the flow chamber 22 embodies the control channel.
  • the operating shaft 18 embodies the actuator.
  • the thread is not shown, but can be easily imagined as an external thread on the neck of the housing.
  • a metal-plastic plain bearing or a plastic-plastic plain bearing is provided in the storage of the actuating element.
  • the actuator can be made entirely of a plastic ball and be rotatably mounted in the metal housing of the ball valve.
  • the bore 24 in the actuating shaft 18 for carrying out a measuring line which connects a sensor arranged in the flow space 22 of the plug 12 for detecting media parameters with an external detection device.
  • the advantage of this solution is that the test leads are at the same Point out of the ball valve exit, on which the actuating handle 20 is arranged. The installation depth of the ball valve is not changed.
  • FIG. 3 also with a metal-plastic bearing, (not shown in the drawing) shows schematically and very greatly simplified an internal thread 40 in a nozzle 41 of the housing 42 of the ball valve 43rd
